Lambert, Hiram L.
Hiram L. Lambert, "Cap" Lambert, as he was familiarly known to the citizens of Boise, one of the picturesque figures of the city, died yesterday at the home of F. L. Hausauer, 1018 Idaho street. For years the old man has been a familiar figure at coroner's inquests, acting as bailiff of juries and doing such odd jobs of that nature as his health would permit. His only known relative is a son residing in Minneapolis, whom the police here have tried to reach. No arrangements will be made for the funeral until he is located. The body is at Schreiber & Sidenfaden's establishment.
